Cape Town - American heart-throb Omari Hardwick, who was in South Africa to film a new Castle Lite commercial, used his time here to also collaborate with Mzansi’s 19-year-old rap maestro, Nasty C (Nsikayesizwe Ngcobo).

The duo recorded two songs in two days, one of which will be featured on Nasty C’s album, Bad Hair, set to be released on September 23.

Hardwick is known for the character Ghost he portrays on the drama series Power.

Of Nasty C, he said: “I am not that familiar [with] South African music, but obviously I know of AKA. I was blown away a month ago when I heard this 19-year-old sensation [Nasty C]. He’s a genius and I wanted to meet him and just see what could come of our studio session. And it was amazing.”

Nasty C told City Press that before their collaboration, he only knew Hardwick as an actor.
